Seahawks second-year TE Nick Vannett is expected to play significantly more snaps in 2017.

The Seahawks brought back No. 2 TE Luke Willson on a one-year deal, but after being the No. 4 tight end as a rookie, Vannett is expected to elevate to No. 3 and could even challenge Willson. Both Willson and Jimmy Graham are in the final years of their contracts. Wed, Jul 5, 2017 01:13:00 PM

While we aren't buying Vannett suddenly becoming a real factor, Carroll's praise of him does suggest free agent Luke Willson is likely leaving. A surprise third-round pick in last year's draft, Vannett caught just 19 passes for 162 scoreless yards as a senior at Ohio State. He will back up Jimmy Graham. Thu, Mar 2, 2017 12:46:00 PM

Vannett is dealing with a high-ankle sprain. "We won’t play him this week," Carroll said. "But after that, next week he’s got a chance." Vannett could have started with Jimmy Graham (knee) doubtful, but the honor will now fall to Luke Willson. Tue, Sep 6, 2016 08:44:00 AM

Coach Pete Carroll said Vannett has "responded well" since going down in Thursday's preseason game, but there is no timetable for his return. A third-round pick out of Ohio State, Vannett is behind Jimmy Graham and Luke Willson on the depth chart. Vannett is a low-upside commodity in Dynasty leagues. Sun, Aug 21, 2016 05:02:00 PM

Coach Pete Carroll confirmed Friday night that LT George Fant (ACL) is done for the season.

Carroll called it a "significant" ACL injury, and suggested there may have been more ligament damage. The injury indeed looked brutal on the field. The Seahawks turned to sometimes guard Rees Odhiambo as their first-team left tackle in Fant's absence. They could also look at LG Luke Joeckel as a left guard alternative, or give un-retired free agent Branden Albert a phone call.
